I know what it feels like to be stuck, anxious, overwhelmed or like no matter what you do, it is never enough. Maybe it feels like your past has a grip on you, keeping you from truly feeling alive. You just want relief. You want to quiet the noise, to finally feel at peace. You’re not alone! There is a way through this, and you don’t have to do it by yourself. Through our work together, I help people who are struggle with anxiety, depression and trauma break free from the past so they can move from just surviving to truly thriving! My goal is to help you overcome challenges, build resilience and reclaim the peace and clarity that you deserve. You don’t have to stay stuck-healing is possible.
During our first session my top priority is building trust and rapport with my client’s while providing them with a safe, authentic and nonjudgmental space where they can feel at ease and be seen, heard, understood, validated and empowered. Therapy should be a place where you can unravel your most intimate thoughts and feelings without feeling judged. My client's and I continuously collaborate throughout the therapeutic process on their goals and their desired outcomes for themselves so they can be the most successful on their healing journey.
My greatest strength as a therapist is that I am an active listener and genuinely care about helping you get to where you want to be in life. My goal is to help my clients see themselves flourish into someone they didn't think was possible and to help them move past challenges that seemed too hard to face. I help my client's challenge change and break through barriers. Together we can navigate life's hardest moments and find strength on the other side.
I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression and trauma. I also have a significant amount of experience in addiction, substance abuse, self-esteem issues, co-dependency and relationship difficulties. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated and committed to change, ready to develop personal growth and willing to lean into discomfort along their healing journey. Therapy is a collaborative effort in helping my client’s reach their full potential and desired goals that they have set out for themselves in therapy.
By utilizing Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) approach with my client's I help them identify how their thoughts, emotions and behaviors are contributing to their internal emotional experiences that they are having. I also help my clients identify their negative thoughts, challenge their negative thoughts and learn to create new ways of thinking to have positive emotions and outcomes.
By utilizing motivational interviewing I help my client's explore their feelings and help discover their own motivations to change despite how difficult change can be. This modality help resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities to find the internal motivation to change behaviors that are no longer serving a purpose.
By utilizing Dialectical Behavior (DBT) approach with my client's I help them with managing their emotions and relationships. This specific therapeutic modality helps individuals to accept their experiences and behaviors as valid while also learning how to make positive changes. I help my client focus on developing new skills and practicing them in order to improve their overall quality of life.
